March 4th-10th

(3/4) Work day for Dad & me, and Kathy had the kids. Rushed home, made dinner and it was bedtime the next time I blinked.

(3/5) I worked in C's classroom doing an investigation of sedimentary rocks with the kids. They got to see/feel/smell the rock and describe it. The smell descriptions were a riot - it was described as dirt, bird poop (C's), a garden, a wall, burned popcorn, and several other things. Nanan came to watch the littles while I was there. I hurried back so I could run J into the doctor. He still is fussing with this ear. Turns out he had a minor infection and should be good as new in a few days. Poor bubba. Nanan stayed until I got home with C this afternoon. We did exciting things like home work and screen time this evening, and then we cuddled up and all watched some TV. It was a lovely day.

Best game ever!

Climb, lift, repeat

(3/6) Work day for me, and Dad had the kiddos. We ended up going out for dinner tonight since we had a coupon. Oh darn!  C was a sushi-vacuum tonight and inhaled everything that came to the table.  The littles went to bed pretty much right after we got home, and I think they finally went to sleep an hour, maybe hour and a half after I put them there. Sigh.

My rockstar :)

(3/7) Work day for the parents, and Kathy had the kiddos. D found a pacifier at Kathy's house, and she sent me a picture. I guess J wanted nothing to do with it. Pretty funny since he was the pacifier guy! I had book club this evening and Granddad & Grandma came to watch the kids. Grandma said J started to sob after I left, but was also stuffing his face with strawberries. He couldn't seem to stop either one. And D kept going long into the night. I told them that was pretty normal. I have to go up at least two times to tell him to lie down and go to sleep.

(3/8) Hockey practice for C this morning. My fitbit said I logged almost 3 miles chasing littles. Who needs a gym?! I did some rearranging and cleared out our entry way today. Moved the hope chest down to our bedroom and Dad will install a new coat hanger for little boy coats at little boy height where it used to be. The boys took an epic nap and I had dinner mostly cooked by the time they finally got up. I had a hankering for grilled chicken, but alas our barbecue is still out in the shed. George Forman it was. I did up some "zoo-kiwi" (zucchini) and couscous and we had ourselves a summerish dinner. C'mon spring!


(3/9) What a fun day! We had C's last hockey game and thank goodness an army of grandparents helped watch the kiddos so I could occasionally watch my big boy. He said he scored 8 goals today - though one of them that I captured happened after the buzzer went. So maybe 7. It was a great cap to a fun season ~ so glad he is loving it! We went to lunch with Nanan at Red Robin. Suupppper slow service today, but all the kids did well waiting and waiting. Got home for nap after 1:30p, and I had to wake D at 4:45p. Granted, that's the new 4:45, but still, sleepy boy. He got upset when I wouldn't let him go back upstairs to bed after dinner. But of course he was wide awake when I put him to bed at 7:30p tonight. Dad and C went bowling this afternoon, leaving the littles and me to do our weekend chores and watch some McQueen and Bob the Builder. I got some time to chill and read too. Never did make it to the gym. I'm sticking with the excuse that the one hour we lost is the one I would've been at the gym.


(3/10) Mondaze again. And now the time change hits. Oof. I am at work today and Dad has the kids. I may have to nap in the middle.
